mock-requests-restcountries 0.5.0

REST Countries mock requests: pre-cached per-URL; missing URLs fetched and cached automatically.

mock-requests-restcountries

A mock for REST Countries (v3.1):

• Uses packaged JSONs for common URLs
• If a URL isn't cached, it fetches live once and caches to ~/.cache/mock_requests_rc

Local usage

python -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate  # Windows: .venv\Scripts\activate
pip install -U pip build
pip install -e ".[dev]"

## Bulk priming

- Prime many URLs into **user cache** (and optionally copy into package data):

```bash
python scripts/bulk_prime.py --urls-file scripts/seed_urls.txt --to-package

Runtime behavior

Resolution order for a URL:

1. Package data (mock_requests/data/*.json) — fastest
2. User cache (~/.cache/mock_requests_rc/*.json)
3. Live fetch then save to user cache
4. Else: return 404-like mock response
